the instrumentation gives it a really interesting and a kind of ever-so-wistful vibe, like i'm reminiscing about the one time i visited the circus and the ringmaster picked me to be a volunteer in a magic show or something

Thanks! <3

Damn, this is really good. I'd write a full review, though both TaintedLogic and Vociferous sum up my exact thoughts on it, so I'll save you the reading.

Overall, great track.
(And damn, you really know how to utilize those FL stock plugins and free VSTs)

I like the bright tone at the beginning. Fade-ins generally aren’t the most creative ways to start pieces, but it works relatively well here. I like the rhythmic syncopations at :15 and the quirky sound design. The kick drum might be taking up a tad too much space on the low end of the frequency range, and I think it could come through the mix a little clearer with more mid-range tones left in it too. I love the injection of intensity at :58 and the blissful mood of the piece overall. There isn’t a lot of dynamic melodic content in this piece so much as variations on the same theme/progression throughout. The instrumental palette is really fun, though, and the more “organic” samples even sound fairly authentic. I appreciated the short breakdown at 2:06, although I would’ve liked to hear some more structural variety in this piece. Some more gradual transitions and phrasing might help this piece out, especially towards the end when the harmonic content starts to get a bit repetitive. My favorite part of the piece was probably the outro starting at 3:06, though - you really took the piece in a different direction by then with the slower rhythmic pace and pizzicato samples. Overall, this is a super cute piece, and the solid mixing, sound design, atmosphere, and harmonies definitely keep it afloat. Keep at it, Dag0! ^_^

I love how it comes in. So optimistic and positive. This could be in a video game. I think the percussion could use a little work in terms of coming in heavier at certain parts. It gets a bit repetitive which kind of takes away from the immense happy feelings and starts to run into a little bit of a manic feeling.
